If I could have hoarded this tea I would have, but alas it likely would have faded into something not that great. It was a Korean Oojeon from a company I haven't seen stateside since. I got the tea through a vendor who got a decent bit of it as a sample while attending World Tea Expo in Las Vegas last year.

That reminds me I should ask that vendor if he is going to be carrying their teas this year.

Tea that i can call "My Preciousss" is powder, green powder... of course matcha! Especially koicha grade, but for now i have only usucha grade Yame matcha, also quite good, but not as mellow. Recently started to use about 100-110ml water and 2-3 bamboo scoops of matcha, but still mostly i prepare second bowl right away

I chose green tea. While I enjoy wuyi oolong, Puerh, jasmine (still - especially jasmine silver needles) and Chinese greens, I love to begin my day with Japanese greens. Sencha Karigane Otsuusan calls to me, although sometimes I veer over to the gyo or another Sencha.

My most 'hoarded' tea that I reserve for special occasions is probably the Hawaiian-grown oolong that I first got in a tea swap with a fellow TeaChatter. It is very pricey, and I had to wait a few months for a new crop to come in before I could first order it, so....precious.
